There are wolves in these parts.. yeah sounds scary..but if you head into the woods with a little knowledge it'll be a much safer venture for you..

According to the Park Journal.. put out by the Parc National du Mont-Tremblant..

If you SEE a Wolf:

1. Show your respect by keeping your distance from it.. If the wolf gets closer to you:

  • Don't feed it
  • Don't mimic it's howl
  • Don't crouch down to eye level
  • Don't talk or make gestures

2. BUT if the wolf gets within 50 meters of you:

  • Make your presence felt by raising your arms into the air and making yourself look bigger than you really are
  • Make noise; clap your hands or yell
  • Slowly walk away without turning your back or losing eye contact with the wolf
  • If necessary, throw rocks or branches at the wolf.

3. Report your encounter to a park ranger or other authority.

And tomorrow (Friday) at 6:40 am a guy who was surrounded by wolves will join us on the air.. obviously he made it out alive!
